Why is that the zone played by Syracuse and others....including Ole Miss at times last night.....looks impenetrable but our zone looks like swiss cheese whenever we break it out.

Even our man to man does not look intimidating and is not suffocating enough to satisfy me. If all 5 of our guys played man like Randy did on Rotnei Clark we would be much better. Why can't Stans break out the film from the Washington game in the tourney and say..."see their defensive intensity....that's what I want from you".

And I hope Stans saw Calipari ripping into his guys last night and realized that you can't baby them.....he needs to get in Kodi's face and tell him to be a man in the post or get the hell off the court.

they are so effective cause they are so long and athletic at every position, and that is all they run so they are most comfortable with it. Ole Miss packed into the zone last night to try and counter Kentucky's size. They just hoped Kentucky didn't shoot them out of it.
